VMWare Self-Service Restore
As a large enterprise running Linux virtual systems, managing vast amounts of data requires an efficient and scalable solution for backup and recovery. You need a self-service capability that empowers users to restore their own data quickly and easily—without additional agents, complex configurations, or extra VM resources.
This is where Cleondris ONE’s VMware Self-Service Restore comes into play. The agentless solution provides unique capabilities, such as ad-hoc Logical Volume Manager (LVM) re-signing for Linux virtual systems, which makes it a powerful replacement for traditional agent-based backups. This self-service feature is tailored for enterprises that need fast, efficient, and reliable restoration without burdening IT teams.

Key Features
- Agentless Restore Capabilities: Cleondris ONE offers fully agentless self-service restore for VMware environments, eliminating the need for additional agents or VM resources. This reduces complexity and speeds up recovery times.
- LVM Re-Signing for Linux Virtual Systems: One of the unique features of Cleondris ONE is its ability to handle ad-hoc LVM re-signing for Linux virtual systems. This ensures smooth and fast restores for Linux-based VMs without additional configurations.
- Seamless Integration with VMware: Cleondris ONE integrates directly with VMware environments, allowing users to recover files from VMs using native ONTAP snapshot capabilities. There is no need for additional tools or plugins.
- File Catalog and Search: With a scalable file catalog and advanced search capabilities, Cleondris ONE makes it easy to locate and recover specific files across thousands of VMs. This reduces workload and helps avoid errors for administrators. It also enables helpdesk staff to perform recoveries, ensuring fast recovery with minimal downtime.
- Self-Service Portal: Users can quickly restore lost files through a simple self-service portal, reducing IT support workload and allowing employees to recover data independently.
- Storage Browser for Snapshots: Cleondris ONE’s NetApp Storage Browser feature allows administrators to navigate snapshots and replication chains easily, providing quick recovery of lost data directly from the backup history.
- Real-Time Monitoring & Stealth Mode: In stealth mode, Cleondris ONE continuously tracks native ONTAP snapshots and replicas, logging every step of the backup process. This ensures that recovery is always possible and that data integrity is maintained.
- Maximized Backup Efficiency: The solution leverages NetApp Data ONTAP deduplication to minimize storage needs and maximize backup efficiency. This allows organizations to back up multiple files (CIFS/NFS), LUNs, or VMs within seconds, ensuring optimal performance even in large environments.
Additional Benefits
- Granular File-Level Recovery: By leveraging Precision Data Restore, Cleondris ONE allows you to recover only the files or folders that have changed without restoring entire volumes. This feature minimizes downtime, reduces storage overhead, and accelerates the recovery process.
- Real-Time Alerts and Monitoring: Cleondris ONE provides real-time monitoring and alerts for file activities, allowing administrators to quickly respond to unauthorized access, changes, or potential data loss. This proactive approach helps prevent issues before they escalate, ensuring that recovery options are available.
- Policy-Based Management: Administrators can set policies for automated backups and recovery, ensuring that all VMs are consistently protected without manual intervention. This enhances data protection by automating key processes and maintaining up-to-date snapshots for VMware environments.
- Audit and Compliance: With features such as tamper-proof logs and CVTX Blockchain, Cleondris ONE ensures secure file access tracking, making it easy to audit recoveries and ensure compliance across all VMware environments.
